1.Background of the study
The word bank was borrowed in middle English from middle French banque, from old Italian
banca, meaning “table”, from Old High German banc, bank “bench, counter”. Benches were used
as makeshift desk or exchange counter during the Renaissance by Jewish Florentine bankers,
who used to make their transition atop desks covered by green tablecloth.
A bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposit and make launch. It is financial
institution which deals with money and credit. Bank may also provide financial service, such as
wealth management, currency exchange and safe deposit boxes. There are two types of bank;
commercial/retail banks and investment banks. In most countries, bank are regulated by the
national government or central bank. Bank is the mechanism of providing loan to demanders
from investors. Bank plays very important role in economic system.
Bank acts as payment agents by conducting checking or current account for customers, paying
checks drawn by customer on the bank and collecting cheques deposited to customers current
account. Bank also enables customer payments via other payment method such as Automated
Clearing House (ACH), Wire transfer or telegraphy transfer and Automated Teller Machine
(ATM).
Bank provides different payment services and bank account is considered indispensable by
most businesses and individual. Bank can create new money when they make a loan. The
money supply is usually increased by the act of lending and reduced when loans are repaid
faster than new ones are generated.
A loan is when you receive money from a friend, bank or financial institution. Loans are of
various types: Personal loan, cash advance, student loan, mortgage loan, Home-equity loan,
small business loan.
Credit is a contractual agreement in which a borrower receives something of value now and
agrees to repay the lender at some time in future, generally within interest. There are various
types of credit: Bank credit, breaking down “bank credit”, approval, fees, business credit.
The initiation of formal banking system in Nepal commenced with the establishment in 1937 of
Nepal bank limited(NBL),the first Nepalese commercial bank. The country’s central bank,
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) was established in 1956 by Act of 1955, After nearly two decades of
NBL having been in existence. A decade after the establishment of NRB,Rastriya Banijya Bank, a
commercial bank under the ownership of his Majesty’s Government of Nepal(HMG/N) was
established.
Basic sources funds for commercial banks are capital(funds from shareholders), serves(retained
profit) and various types of deposits. Basic funds are loan advances and investment.
Obviously now in Nepal, banks and financial institution have started to grow considerably and
getting concentration on both off- balance sheet and on- balance sheet activities. Presently in
our country, there are some commercial banks, three development banks, seventy-eight co-
operatives a large number of NGOs and some non-banks financial institutions operating with
their largely provided framework and directed field of performing portfolios. Regarding the
development bank in Nepal, the first bank to be established was a commercial bank. Nepal
bank limited established in1994 B.S. was the first bank in the history of Nepal to perform.
The function of central bank Rastriya Banijya Bank, another commercial bank was established in
2022 B.S only after 2041 B.S. his majesty government (HMG) allows joint venture and public
LTD.
According to Nepal company act 2031 B.S, a commercial bank refers to such type of
bank which deals in money exchange accepting deposit advance loan and commercial
transaction except specific banking related to co-operative agriculture industry and
other objective.

7. Review of literature
a) Conceptual Review
Lending is the principle business activity for most commercial bank . The loan is typically
the largest assets and the predominant source of revenue. Whether due to lax credit
standards poor portfolio risk management or weakness in the economy, loan problems
have been the major causes of bank losses and failures. A credit score provides an easy
way for lenders to numerically judge your credit at a point in time.
Frequently, credit refers to the terms and conditions associated with a deferred
payment arrangement, for example, easy credit and cheap prices. Credit also denotes
the borrowing capability of an organization or person.
According to Leonke,” a loan is the act of giving money, property or other material
goods to another party in exchange for future repayment of the principal amount along
with interest’
According to business dictionary, written or oral agreement for a temporary transfer of
a property (usually cash) from its owner (the lender) to a borrower who promises to
return it according to the terms of the agreement, usually with interest for its use. If the
loan is repayable on the demand of the lender, it is called a demand loan. If repayable in
equal monthly payment, it is an installment loan. If repayable in lump sum on the loan’s
maturity(expiration) date, it is a time loan.
Loans can come from individuals, corporation, financial institutions, and governments.
They offer a way to grow the overall money supply in an economy as well as open up
competition and expand business operations. The interest and fees from loan are a
primary source of revenue for many financial institutions such as bank, as well as some
retailers through the use of credit facilities.
Parker (2002) presents an overview of the modern theory and evidence of credit
rationing, and concludes that the case for credit rationing is weak. He suggests that
theoretical arguments for or against credit rationing are inconclusive, so evidence is
needed to decide the issue.
c) Research Gap
several studies can be found in literature. Hence, this study will made an effort on fund
should be mobilized in more productive sector to increase profit, extend more facilities
to customer.
8. Methods
a) Research design
The process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making business decision.
The methodology may include publication research, interviews, surveys and other research
techniques, and could include both present and historical information. Research comprises
”creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge
,including knowledge of human , culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to
devise new application. Research design is plan, structure and strategy of investment
conceived so as to obtain answer to research question. The plan is overall scene or program of
the research. Research design indicates a plan of action to be carried out in connection with
purpose research work.
b) Population and sample
It is the entire group of people, events or things that the researcher wishes to investigate. In
simple meaning, it is people, object or events as defined by the researcher in his/her report.
The finding of the research is generalized in the population. Representation portion of the
